Features & Capabilities

Ever wanted to inspect the source code of a webpage or file without actually navigating to the link first and without force downloading it ? View Link Source streamlines this process by adding a native-feeling shortcut directly to your browser.

How it works: Simply right-click any valid link on a webpage. A new "View link source" option will appear in your context menu. Clicking it immediately opens a new tab displaying the raw HTML, Text, Json, etc. source code of the target URL, using Firefox's built-in view-source: protocol.

Key Features:

Smart Visibility: The menu option is context-aware. It only appears when you right-click on an actual HTTP or HTTPS link, keeping your standard right-click menu completely clutter-free everywhere else.


Fast & Lightweight: Built on modern Manifest V3 standards, it runs only when clicked and consumes zero background memory.

Completely Private: This extension requires only the basic permissions needed to create the menu item and open a new tab. It collects absolutely zero user data.

Is View Link Source ( RMB Context Menu) Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

View Link Source ( RMB Context Menu) does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
